LINSEED OIL APPLICATIONS SPEED RECOVERY OF PAVEMENT SKID RESISTANCE

LINSEED OIL SOLUTIONS AND EMULSIONS CAN BE APPLIED TO NEW, OLD, OR PREVIOUSLY OILED CONCRETE PAVEMENTS PROVIDING THEM WITH FAST RECOVERY OF THEIR ORIGINAL SKID RESISTANCE, ACCORDING TO U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE RESEARCHERS. RECOVERY TIME VARIED WITH TRAFFIC, CLIMATIC CONDITIONS, PAVEMENT AGE AND SURFACE TEXTURE, BUT ORIGINAL SKID RESISTANCE VALUES WERE ATTAINED WITHIN 3 TO 24 HOURS. IT WAS FURTHER NOTED THAT SMOOTH TROWELED, PREVIOUSLY OILED SURFACES, AND OLDER CONCRETE ABSORB LESS OIL THAN BROOMED, UNOILED, AND NEW CONCRETE. /ARTICLE/
